NEW YORK, April 25th.-[Speeial] IA
Buffalo special says The Grand Jury of
the Superior Court will tomorrow inquire
into the death of Charles W. Brown, at the
Asylum for Insane. Four ribs were
broken, and three attendents have been
charged with manslaughter for infiictirg the
injuries. One of the witnesses will be Mary
Grant, who to-day made sworn statement
OF her experiences while an inmate of the
Asylum. She was placed there Nav l,
1885. after having been brutally treated
by her husband. She says: "Tbe first
night | was in the Asylum | was
given some kind of disagreeable medi-
cine which stupefied me. l refused
to take 1t, but one of the attendants took
me by the throat and another caught me
by the hair and forced the machine down
my throat. That night I was frightened
almost to death by seeing two attendants

lady patient illtreated one morning in the
dining room, while setting at the breakfast
table. She refused to eat, when an attend
ant, Mrs. Lewis, blew whistle and half a
dozen attendants came running into the
room. They Knocked her down and
stamped upon her. There was no
reason for the harsh treatment, as the poor
thing was not violent. 1t was done to
terrify the rest of US. Abiam White. of
Perry, who says his ribs were broken, is
also to be witness. He says the cruelties
practiced at the Asylum are terrible.

thorough investigation, and the District
Attorney intends to make it.

DISSENTING KNIGHTS.
An Investigation that Promises to Take
the Whole Summer


New YORK, April 25th.-[Special.l 1.-The
General Executive Board, Knights of La
Dor, read in their offices in Philadelphia
accounts published last week of dissensions
between the warning factions in this city
and Brooklyn, and on Saturday when they
were read half the order in this city was
arrayed against the other half. They felt
they had better do something, and do it
quickly. After long discussion it was
settled that Thomas B. Barry and Thomas
b. Mcguire, members from East Saginaw
and New York, respectively, should pro-
ceed Immediately to New York and arrange
conference between representatives of the
different factions. They will come to this
city on Thursday. 1t is not certain what
shape the conference will take. One men,
Der Of the committee has said it is possible
that all the trouble here will be 'inyesti-

mer.
The principal matters to be considered
Will be the claims of the Montauk Pro-

Arrest of Ex-Manager Simmons on a
Charge of Arson.

Arrest OF Ex-Manager Simmons on a
Charge of Arson.
MONTEREY, April 24th-The arrest of E.
L. Simmons in connection with the burn
ing of the Hotel del Monte did not cause
any surprise to the people of Monterey, as
they have looked for his arrest for several
days past. He was brought down from San
Jose by Constable j. A. Walter and several
detectives from San Francisco. He was
taken before Justice Westfall and informed
of the charge pending against him and also
his hight to be granted further time to pro-
cure counsel. Mr.. Simmons stated that he
desired until Monday, at which IT, e his
counsel would be ready to proceed Justice
Westfall granted him the desired time and
remanded him to the custody of the Of
ficers. 1t is stated that the officers have a
clear case against him, and that several ar
rests will be made in q few davs also in
connection with the burning of the Del
Monte. 1t has been known for long time
that Simmons lived far beyond his salary.
The fact now comes to light that he was a
defaulter in the East, was tried, convicted
and sentenced to five years in the State
Prison. He served two years and was par
doned out by the Governor, and shortly af.
terWard came to California and secured a
position as head bookkeeper at the Hotel
keeper for two years under George Schoen-
waid, and when Mr.. Schoenwald retired to
assume charge of the Palace Simmons was
promoted and was made manager of the
hotel. 1t is expected that many new things
will be brought to light in few days.
1t is known beyond a doubt that the
water-pipes had been tampered with, and
all the circumstances in fact, point to the
probability that the whole matter had been
thought out by person of sufficient in
tslligence to make a success of his diaboli-
cal scheme. The man who set fire to the
Hotel Del Monte did so with the intention
of making a clean sweep, and fully sue
ceeded in carrying out his intention.
Finding his salary at Del Monte, which
was not large, insufficient for his tastes. it
is supposed that Simmons began embez-
zling the funds, and, finding himself upon
the verge of discovery and ruin. burned
the building, at the risk of the lives of its
many inmates, for the sole purpose of de-
stroying the books, and with them all proof
of his defalcation. This is the charge as it
stands against him, but it is not vet proved,
and the business of proving it lies with the
company. They declare their intention of
leaving no stone unturned to unrayel the
mystery OF that fire.

Several Lives Lost Owing to a Firms
Meanness.
New YORK, April 25th-[Special. The
ruins of the Ivanhoe Manufacturing Com
pany's paper mill and J. II. Booth & Co. s
silk mill in Paterson, N j., which were
partly demolished on Saturday by the ex-
plosion of boiler in the former. were
visited by thousands of people yesterday.
Search was resumed in the debris of the
boiler-room for the body Of Michael Burke,
but without result. The corpse, horribly
disfgured, was found at noon in the race
way, having floated down nearly to the
river. Burke had evidently been blown
into the race-way, as was VIM. Jenkins,
who was in precarious condition yester-
day. jenkins and Burke had charge of
the boiler which exploded.
James Simpson, another Of the injured
men, died early yesterday. Maggie Van
Iiele, aged II, one of the three girls in
jured in the silk mill. was in critical con-
dition. The other injured persons about
fifteen in number, were doing well.
The explosion has created great indigna-
tion against the company, because it had
refused to accept new boiler as it was not
delivered at the time called for in the con-
tract. The boiler was ready two days be-
hind time, and the makers say this was be-
cause they did not desire to deliver it until
it had been tested. The new boiler has
liam on the track for two weeks.

New YORK April 24th-T. P. Gill, Mp
cabled the Tribune as follows: l had an
interview a day or two ago with John
Dillon, NJ. 2. What do you think" |
inquired, will be the effect of the oontro-
versy about the charges against the Irish
members raised in the House and by the
Times ~
Il think: said ne, "it will produce
most excellent effect" -
Why do you think so ?"
Because it has changed the issue
altogether. The question before the peo-
pie of England now is-not whether crime
and disorder existin Ireland, but whether
or not the Irish members are murderers.
The Government has been compelled to
admit that their object is not to put down
crime, but to put down the Parnellite
power, Lord Harrington, who is the
master of the Government, having plainly
stated in Edinburgh, as the real cause for the
necessity for the crimes bill, that there was
a revolutionary party in Ireland which has
gained undue ascendancy over the minds
of the Irish people. In his opinion, before
any sentiment of the Irish question could
be arrived at it would be necessary to over
throw this party (which is, of course the
National League, with Parnell at its head.
Once the people of England come to see
that the bill is to be used against political
opponents, and not against criminals, am
convinced they will decls-e against il with

New York, April 25th.-[Special LEO
Hartmann, the Nihilist, has been identified
in a soap peddler. He has been making a
living in that way for months, but under
an assumed name, and quite unknown to
the police: but he was tempted to make a
speech in a recent meeting denunciatory of
Secretary of State Bayard for arranging a
treaty with Russia to extradite assassins of
the Cars, and recognition ensued.
An effort was made to bring the attempt
upon the Gar s life under the head of ex-
traditable offenses. Hartmann's friends
maintained that he had TO flee from Russia
on account of a political crime, and that
his attempt TO remove the Gar was but
part of the acknowledged programme of
political party. There is no knowing
how the affair might have turned
out could Hartmann have been found
when the Courts were asked to make pre-
cedent of the case. Never did a hunted
man disappear more completely, and while
the police and detectives were securing the
east side for him he was amusing himself
by learning English in seclusion. The
chase was abandoned, for it was plain the
Government would hesitate, if not refuse.

tide flowing through Castle Garden, that
the Firms were becoming a counting factor

and many soldiers. Finland has a popu-
lation of less than 2,000, 900, and if the
natives continue to come here in bodies as
large as have passed through the Garden
this spring. the country will be left with

in getting here. They resort to the trick of
procuring sixty-day passport. and. in
stead of returning TO Finland, make for

Fort Worth, Tex, says Advises from the
Anadarko Indian Agency are to the effect
that there has been great excitement there.

War talk began over a week ago, but
Quanah Parker, Chief of the Comanches,
not only has held his own tribe in check,
but influenced the better element of the
kiowas. But few of this tribe would listen
to him, and with their war talk began
depredations on catilemen. A band of
them roamed over the cattle country, visit
ing residences and greatly frightened the
women and children. They made such de-
moustrations about the school at Anadarko
as to terrorize the children. The military
were notified, and Captain Nall determined
TO withhold beef rations from the Kiowas
that had caused the trouble, bat when Fri
day came most of the leaders came in. and

This becoming known, the Kiewas became
alarmed, and leaving aheir traps. wagons,

John NJ Smith was arrested yesterday by
Inspector Byrnes on an order issued by
District Attorney MARITIME. The Inspector

of prosecution either for murder or for
keeping a dive. The murder took place at
73 Olive street March 81, 1879. Smith is
Hollander, and is called Smith because his
name is unpronounceable. He shot Mad
